Lovely Autumn colours chosen by Mary today - Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and for dessert I used a Twisted Citron DO ink. As it is Spring here, and feels like Summer today, I thought of flowers.
I started by using the Smoosh & Squirt technique on a piece of shimmer c/. Once it was dry I stencilled using Twisted Citron ink.
I had already stamped and coloured the zinnia flower. Fussy cut and adhered to panel, using Dimensionals. The bg has a lovely shimmery look to it! TFL!

What a gorgeous zinnia, Sue! And, the background is so sunny too. Your beautiful card reminded me that the dahlias that we have blooming right now are this week's colors too!

This is such a gorgeous zinnia, colored so beautifully; zinnias are such colorful additions to gardens; it's starting to feel like Fall here but my zinnias are still blooming : ) Your background is gorgeous, too!
